FAQs
The verse frames desire as something to be aligned with rightful relationship and social order: the beloved is identified, named, and situated within lineage—turning emotion into a dharmically structured bond.
Vamśānucarita: it explicitly names a royal figure (Saṃvaraṇa) and his ancestry (son of Ṛkṣa), typical of Purāṇic dynastic cataloguing and narrative elaboration.
Naming (saṃvaraṇo hi nāmnā) is a Purāṇic device of making destiny concrete: the ‘desired one’ becomes a person embedded in dharma (lineage), not a mere object of longing.
